Benefits of technology

[0011]The inventors have carried out an extensive investigation with a view to achieving the above-descried object. As a result, it has been found that low-substituted hydroxypropyl cellulose powder obtained by removing small particles therefrom has sufficient compactibility and excellent disintegrability, leading to completion of the invention.
[0016]According to the present invention, the low-substituted hydroxypropyl cellulose has good compactibility and disintegrability so that a solid preparation comprising the low-substituted hydroxypropyl cellulose can have a reduced disintegration time and a rapid drug effect. When it is used in the wet granulation method, a granulation product having an adequate particle size can be produced.

Problems solved by technology

Particularly in the fields of pharmaceuticals, unstable drugs are increasing among newly developed drugs and additives usable for them are limited from the standpoint of mutual action between them.

example 1

[0067]Alkali cellulose containing 24.5% by weight sodium hydroxide was obtained by immersing pulp in a 49% by weight aqueous sodium hydroxide solution and squeezing the resulting pulp. After the alkali cellulose was left to stand at room temperature for 8 hours, 100 parts by weight of the alkali cellulose was placed in a reactor. The reactor was purged with nitrogen and then charged with 9.5 parts by weight of propylene oxide. The resulting mixture was reacted at 40° C. for one hour, 50° C. for one hour, and 70° C. for one hour while stirring to obtain 109.5 parts by weight of a reaction product. The reaction product was introduced, for neutralization, into in 2000 parts by weight of hot water of 95° C. containing acetic acid in an amount equivalent to that of sodium hydroxide co-existing with the reaction product, followed by dehydration by squeezing to obtain a crude low-substituted hydroxypropyl cellulose product. The crude product thus obtained was washed with 3000 parts by weig...

example 2

[0069]A pulverized product of low-substituted hydroxypropyl cellulose was obtained in the same manner as in Example 1, and sifted through a sieve having an opening of 150 μm to collect an undersize fraction. The undersize fraction was then sifted through a sieve having an opening of 32 μm to collect an oversize fraction as the low-substituted hydroxypropyl cellulose shown in Table 1.

example 3

[0070]The low-substituted hydroxypropyl cellulose shown in Table 1 was obtained in the same manner as in Example 1 except that the amount of propylene oxide charged was changed to 6.9 parts by weight.

Abstract

Provided is low-substituted hydroxypropyl cellulose from which a granulation product having an adequate particle size can be obtained in a wet granulation method and a tablet having excellent compactibility and disintegrability can be obtained. More specifically, provided is low-substituted hydroxypropyl cellulose having a hydroxypropoxyl content of from 5 to 16% by weight and a water-soluble content of less than 2% by weight, wherein a weight ratio of water to the low-substituted hydroxypropyl cellulose giving a maximum torque is from 3 to 5 as determined while adding one part by weight of water per minute to one part by weight of the low-substituted hydroxypropyl cellulose under mixing with biaxial mixing blades. Also provided are a solid preparation including the low-substituted hydroxypropyl cellulose, and the like.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION1. Field of the Invention[0001]The invention relates to low-substituted hydroxypropyl cellulose having good compactibility and disintegrability, which is added to a solid preparation as a disintegrator or binder in the fields of pharmaceuticals and food.2. Description of the Related Art[0002]A solid preparation as a pharmaceutical or food disintegrates as a disintegrant contained therein absorbs water and swells therewith. Examples of the disintegrant include low-substituted hydroxypropyl cellulose, carboxymethyl cellulose and calcium a salt thereof, and a starch and a derivative thereof.[0003]Particularly in the fields of pharmaceuticals, unstable drugs are increasing among newly developed drugs and additives usable for them are limited from the standpoint of mutual action between them. Under such situations, low-substituted hydroxypropyl cellulose has been used popularly as a nonionic disintegrant or binder so that it may be regarded as an preferable add...
